The answer is in there, maybe if you squint a bit you can see it. I was also fairly sure I was getting laid off a few times and continued to do my stuff and kept staying around.

I’ve been 90% sure I was getting laid off a few times. I contracted to one of the big 3 auto companies in engineering/IT and head count reductions were pretty common. Three times it was our department getting cut. I was not overly expensive, did a lot of stuff to fill in gaps, and found ways to improve our teams so I always thought even if something happened to this team I could always land on another team. Once when we were at a site loading engineering sw on the servers my boss asked if I would mind training the sw to the plant the next day. I ended up switching from installs to training and did that for almost 20 years. I was originally hired as a systems analyst. I ended my career working in a manufacturing plant supporting the sw I trained and installed. One of the advantages of working for a large company is they have so many roles to fill and once you learn all the processes/systems you have value at a base level that can be used in many positions
For the last few years I’ve been going to festivals that avoid fricken Ticketbastard. They’re still expensive but at least the money is going to the people putting it on instead of some corporate heads and hedge funders
Absolutely, and 25lbs is half of the 50lbs I lost in 3 years. I’ve never dieted, I just changed the way I eat to get to my healthy weight
Odd. I’m able to listen to music there still
For me to drop from my high of 205 back to a working weight under 180 it took lots of travel for work where I was away from my munchies for 3 to 4 weeks. The first time I got down to 185 in Brazil and then a trip to India got me down to about 170. I quit drinking soda pop, and started eating more fiber and no sugar for breakfast other than the raisins and dates in my muesli and quit eating bagels for breakfast as much. A T-bone accident on my motorcycle 18 months ago left me with a bad leg/foot so I’m a lot less active and loss a lot of muscle weight. I’m down to 155 now. I was 145 when I got out of the Marines 40 years ago
Not all of my Ad On’s are for YT, but yes I run a JS blocker and also block video’s and sound on all sites except YT
Israeli and extremist Jewish lobbyists have monstrous power in congress.
Fuck our politicians and their collusion with Israel in this genocide. Our damn oligarchy masquerading as a democracy is getting to grow old and we need to change and take control of our country through voting which starts in the primaries so we get true progressives in instead of people who want to go backwards or rollover to those with power or money to control our democratic institutions. Yeah I’m looking at the damn DNC who control our only reasonable hope for change. argh
I run uOrigin, flashblock, JS disabled, No Overlays, and DDG’s privacy ad on’s and I have no problems with YT
Zionism is the belief that Jews have the right to all the biblical lands. IMO everything else is semantics.
I use hotel water for 2 things when I travel; showers and toilets. The 2 or 3 liters I drink is nothing compared to those. But I imagine Americans and others from areas where water isn’t restricted take much longer showers and we have a habit of leaving the tap running while we do stuff like wash something or brush our teeth. That being said I’m heading to Barcelona in fall and I’ll try to be mindful of my water usage
I went to college in Daytona Beach in the late 70’s so I have no idea how many I’ve been with. Maybe I should have kept a list. /s The last 40 years has been easy though as I’ve been married for that long.

I actually do have an MSI laptop. I forgot I had read so many negative reviews of the Asus that I went the other direction. After posting that I got on my laptop and realized my mistake and remembered the negative reviews about them
For desktop motherboards I’ve usually gone MSI but my gaming laptop is an Asus and is a little over a year old. It’s worked perfect since I got it and I’ve had zero problems with it. The Nvidia GPU and laptop fans sure do sing when I’m playing games though
I was T-boned on my motorcycle. Like you, the driver had no malicious intent and I felt kind of bad for her as well because hitting someone is traumatic too. I tumbled about 60’ down the road and spent half a day in the trauma unit in the hospital getting tests and images. Her insurance was not enough to cover all my medical. After about 6 months of care which hit around $200k her insurance was tapped out. I did sue her insurance company but there wasn’t a lot there to get due to Michigan insurance laws. I didn’t sue her but I did get what I could from insurance. She may be screwed trying to get car insurance in the future but I’ll never walk normal again and may never be able to work in my field again. Don’t leave yourself short. The future issues may be worse than expected.
My son had a similar accident to yours. His shoulder and elbow were pretty mashed up and he is pretty much back to normal now. Hopefully your recovery is as good as his was. Being young helps healing a lot.
I also run disabling addons for java script and flash as well as an overlay remover in Firefox
If I really wanted to keep it I wouldn’t use glue I’d put part of a balloon or a finger from a glove on the spatula and force it back in. IMO any kitchen utensil that’s 2 parts like this will always fail quickly. I believe that’s a force fitting with ridges intended to keep it in so slightly enlarging the piece that goes in will recreate the tight fit
I wrote documentation at Ford for a while and when we switched from WordPerfect to Word I got a waver for 2 years to continue using WordPerfect because it was so much more efficient because of the ability to see all formatting. When they forced me to Word I quit writing documents for the most part
